Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them? (self.asklemmy)

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

yeah kanye for me too. used to be my favorite artist, paid out the ass for tickets on multiple tours, knew all the words to his first like, six albums. haven't listened to him in like a year and a half after the Alex Jones interview and Adidas stories came out. it's not even virtue signaling, it's just too much work to not think about all the horrible shit he's done and said. i count myself extremely lucky that i never got a tattoo

Exactly, it's laborious separating them. Even shit he's just produced like Hov or Pusha T. My favorite songs come on shuffle in the car, vibin, 30 sec in.. "oh shit.. right.. hmm.. ugh.. argghhh" next track

It was always funny watching him talk about Jesus in his songs as though his lifestyle didn't promote everything Christ went against.

And of course, the next generation sucked it up like a sponge.

Apparently Kanye has copied some great music, and we'll know for sure if he ever releases some.
